The Bribie Island Christmas Lights Boat Parade has become an iconic community event of the Bribie Island Festive Season Calendar.
Dozens of Vessels decorated in vibrant Christmas lights make their way throughout the Pacific Harbour canals and Pumicestone Passage. The event attracts thousands of spectators who gather on vantage points around the canals or host parties to enjoy the spectacle.

Best Places to Watch? Top picks for close-up views of the boats are the new park at 170 Cosmos Avenue or 84 Endeavour Drive where the parade passes twice. Refer to the map below for all of the public viewing locations.
